These nuclei are believed to be in connection with a delicate sheath corresponding with the neurolemma of the medullated nerve fiber.
This may be due to the nanoscale fibers mimicking extracellular matrices present in the neurolemma during peripheral nerve regeneration.
Between the neurolemma and the axis cylinder is the medullated sheath, composed of a fatty substance known as myelin.
The axis cylinder is the essential conducting structure of the nerve, while the neurolemma and the myelin act as insulating agents.
